The Skyhawks reclaimed the lead in the fifth behind a three
run, four hit inning. Trailing 4-1, the Tigers roared back in the bottom of the
sixth.

Brittany Webb doubled to right field before her pinch
runner, Nicole Vincent moved to third on a single by Megan Hedrick. Royesha
Goodman then drove in both runners to bring the score to 4-3 and force a UTM
pitching change.

Christy Hill later singled to right field to plate Jill
Gardner and even the score 4-4. Neither team scored in the seventh and the game
went into extra innings.

After the Skyhawks went down in order in their half of the
eighth inning, the Tigers took advantage. In the top of the eighth, back-to-back
singles from Royesha Goodman and Christy Hill led to TSU putting the winning
run in scoring position.

With two outs and runners on first and second, Jalisa
Bradley singled to right field to plate Goodman and give TSU the 5-4 win. The
Tigers tallied 12 hits in the game.

In the second game of the doubleheader, UT Martin recorded
14 hits on the way to an 11-3 win.

TSU scored the first run of the game behind one hit and two
UTM errors but it would be the Skyhawks that would assume control.

After posting three runs in both the second and third
innings, the Skyhawks held a 6-1 advantage. TSU cut the deficit down to 6-3 in
the bottom of the third but UTM tacked on five more runs in the fourth to swell
the lead to 11-3. With the Skyhawks leading 11-3 at the end of the fifth
inning, the game ended due to the mercy rule.
